Home study....check!

Yup folks, that's right, we are now finished with our home study visits. Our social worker will now write up the study, we'll review, and then we'll send it off to all of the important people who need to read about what great parents we'll be. Well, provided she actually says we'll be great parents :)

We busted out the house yesterday. Brando's family came over and we worked from well before sun up until well after sun down. We woke up again early this am (I'll admit, Brando woke up 1hr earlier) and worked for 5 hours until she came at 10am. WHEW!

Kootenai and Zulu were great! Both on their best behaviour and trying hard to be cute and sweet. Zulu actually was laying on the social worker's feet for the entire interview. We basically just sat upstairs and chatted through questions about parenting and our marriage and then took her on a tour of the house. It is still well in construction mode, but fairly put together and we're moving pretty fast on the house, so I feel secure in having it finished before we become parents.

All in all, the visit did not seem invasive one bit, and was actually sort of anti-climatic, since we don't have a ton to say about it. On to our next step, waiting for immigration paperwork so we can submit our dossier!!

On that note, I'll end with a cute Zulu pic....
